Duclair Ducklings

Valley Hatchery introduces the White Duclair Ducklings, a distinguished breed with roots in Normandy, France, particularly renowned in the culinary world for its rich and elegant flavor. Developed for dual purposes, these ducks excel in both egg production, offering 80-100 large white eggs annually, and as a high-quality meat source, favored by discerning chefs for its earthy taste. The White Duclairs, weighing between 5.5-6.5 lbs when mature, showcase a friendly and calm personality, making them ideal as family-friendly pets. They thrive in various climates, demonstrating robust hardiness and excellent foraging skills, a testament to their adaptability in free-range or pasture settings. Lacking flying ability but known for their quick growth, White Duclairs reach market weight efficiently, offering a higher percentage of breast meat despite being smaller than other meat ducks. Their yellow chicks mature into elegant white adults, making them a visually appealing addition to any setting. Notably, White Duclairs have recently gained attention in the U.S., though their legacy extends back centuries in France, a testament to their enduring appeal and functionality. Whether for a backyard flock or gourmet culinary use, Valley Hatchery’s White Duclair Ducklings represent a blend of tradition, flavor, and versatility.
